Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) devices are nowadays become an integral part of modern smart grids. However, the performance of SMES devices are affected by various factors such as operating conditions of the unit, design of SMES, cooling strategies involved, thermophysical properties of High Temperature Superconducting material etc. Therefore, cooling strategies involved to sustain appropriate environment for high-temperature superconductors are crucial for the smooth operation of SMES devices. However, amount of cooling to be done depends upon heat generated inside the HTS tape which ultimately is proportional to AC loss generated. In the recent past, a lot of research has been conducted for SMES devices and various aspects related to AC losses such as computational and numerical AC loss predictions, experimental AC loss measurement, reviews on the use of various numerical methods for AC loss estimations have been explored. The present work deals with the critical review related to AC loss estimation for YBCO based solenoid windings and HTS tapes used in SMES devices. Moreover, novel issues for the better emergence and development of HTS tapes have also been addressed.
